Eligibility: The child must be 4 years of age by August 31st of their Pre-Kindergarten year. Children selected for participation should qualify as evidenced by multiple criteria (developmental screening, parent observation and teacher observation). Schools of choice and employee requests are non-applicable.
Lack of funding alone is not a basis to deny funded emergency leave travel. Emergency leave may be requested with or without American Red Cross verification. Soldiers may be authorized emergency leave for up to 30 days for emergency situations within the immediate family.
Save. The Family Medical and Leave Act is a federal law granting 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per year to eligible employees. Eligibility depends in part on how many hours an employee has worked during the previous 12 months, meaning part-time employees might not be able to take FMLA time. Employers and employees should keep accurate records of employees' hours to verify FMLA eligibility.
